I believe mine was cut too deep because I have a constant drip of juice coming out of the threaded end

That happened to me when I first got mine and I was like, this doesn't work, but cut off the supply or the holes, got it drier and it still would leak through the battery end and vent holes. So I tried a new carto and worked like a charm, so it had to be the carto, possibly cut too deep or something?

Just my 2cents :)
 
Getting the o-rings in there isn't too hard, just work them slowly until they pop into the groove. I shouldn't have ordered more, James said he was going to send me some and asked for my address but then didn't because I ordered some.
I will try it and then see if my husband can do it for me if i can't . I just wonder if the hole is too small for the cartomizer or if the groove is not cut deep enough. I'm wondering this because it was almost impossible to slide the cartomizer through.

I am starting to think that no matter what method you choose to make an "opening" in the carto, PLACEMENT of that "opening" is key to getting the best performance out of each carto.... I am finding that rasing the opening slightly higher then the bottom of the inner end cap, is really making the performance (wicking, firing, flavor, throat hit, vapor production etc...) Much more consistent in the cartomizer... I will update this theory when possible.

Hi All YA Happy Vapors.
Well I have moved on, this tank is good idea but the cartos are not suited to this tank. I have dumped the rest of the slotted cartos and gave the rest unused to a friend that loves LR cartos. I have put CE2 XL Rev 5 cartos in my tanks as of today. I think I set a new record for a flooded LR carto today. After filling the tank with a new LR 1.7 ohm Smoketech it started to pour out the bottom before I even got it to the provari, thank goodness. I had only put about 3-4 mil of my VR4 from Vaprite which is the daily vape for me these days. I can put up with once in while gurgle from the CE2s which is no worse than the MAP CE2 tank. At least I haven't drenched my Provari with the CE2. I can't run the voltage up over about 3.6 on the LR cartos and that is just not a good vape for me. The 2.4-2.6 CE2 I run up to 4.2V and can go up to 5V, so it is much more enjoyable. By the way just got my new Black Chrome Provari, very nice looking.
Happy Vapeing

Just in case no one knows , Andrew at Crystal Clear Vaping has a guarantee on all the cartos he sells , He will refund your money on any bundles or single packs purchased . He even has a thread on here & is an ECF member . I spoke with him & he's really a great guy , answers his emails promptly & reads all threads pertaining to his products . He's very involved & stakes his name & rep on everything he sells . Just saying in case no one knew , I ordered some Ressurectors which were sold out but still offered on the website . Andrew emailed me the next morning & explained the mix up & offered me a refund or exchange . I opted to wait for the next shipment of the stainless ressurectors by the way I ordered on a Friday & my order was shipped the following Wens. Plus he emailed me several times in correspondence to all my questions about his products .

Anyone know the waiting time on a SS liquinator? I ordered one Sunday but haven't got a shipping notice yet. Provari will be here tomorrow along with 3 other orders i placed at the same time.
They don't always send shipping notices , I have 3 tanks & all were ordered separately , think I got a shipping notice for only 1 of them , the rest were just shipped & got it in 3 - 4 days

Now cartos already slotted or hole punched , NO . But if your planning to slot or hole punch your own , he'll cover you as long as it is a faulty carto , not bcuz you cut too deep or punch a hole straight thru . He claims to only sell the best & with free shipping on everything aside from the guarantee , I'd say I agree 100% , have had no problems what so ever.

I paid 2 weeks ago, send mails to ask what the status is and did not hear anything back!!!

WOW ! 2 wks ago ? That's not a norm for them . I would advise calling them . I know they're very busy with orders for these tanks , but 2 wks is too long . Perhaps some type of mix up with your order went down but no matter what , call them ASAP and make sure you have the order # . A phone call will fix your problem much quicker .

I am working my way through this thread. Maybe the answer is here, but I haven't come across it yet. I'm gonna keep reading, but, in the meantime, I want to ask a question.

I have read a lot of posts and watched lots of reviews about the liquinator. I am already a Boge carto lover, and I want to try the liquinator. I have read that my cartos will last longer because they will be consistently wet because of constant feeding.

My question is: For the longer duration of the carto, does the taste diminish significantly over the period of, let's say a week, 2 weeks, whatever? Does that "magic new full carto taste" last longer proportionately to how long the carto lasts? Also, has anyone cleaned and reused the slotted cartos?

I'll go back to my reading now...

I've never cleaned and reused any cartos. I've had Boge cartos last 2 weeks with the Liquinator. I think it comes down to the carto. For me the taste is like a fresh filled carto with every vape. I have had some cartos get a burnt taste and some loose their draw. All in all Boge cartos last me longer and taste fresher longer with the Liquinator.

I think if you vape VG-heavy juices, you might gunk the coils or clog the fillers. I've noticed a tighter draw as the days go on. For me that's been all I've noticed a few times.

Here are some of me and my Wife's SS Liquinators. The ones on the Provari's have MAP DCT SS top caps on them to tighten them up. No leaks no spinning no sliding. All have Boge cartos in the but one that has a duel coil in the 5ml tank. Best vapeing ever.:)
